Abstract : Titanium and its alloys are considered difficult-to-machine materials due to several factors such as very high
cutting temperature induced at the cutting edge during machining, its high strength at elevated temperature and strong
chemical reactivity with many cutting tools. The machinability of titanium alloys was considerably influenced by the heat
treatment conditions and its subsequent microstructure produced. A beta solution treatment process (BSTA) produces
lamellar microstructure and mainly carried out to improve the fatigue properties of Ti6Al4V. This lamellar microstructure
which is coarse produces high shear stress and in consequence produces high cutting forces and cutting temperature which
leads to poor machinability. Cryogenic Machining using LN2 was carried out on beta solution treated Ti6Al4V using
Taguchi design of experiment approach with L8 orthogonal array, where 3 factors viz. cutting speed, feed rate and depth of
cut were varied on 2 levels. During cryogenic machining, LN2 was supplied with high pressure to the cutting zone which
receives an effective cooling as well as the chip breaking takes place. The machinability was measured in terms of cutting
forces and surface finish of the machined work piece. The chip mechanism study was also carried out to establish a direct
relationship between machinability and heat treatment process.
